Outcomes Snapshot of what California is doing for sea- level rise adaptation Provide information on current capacity and where resources are lacking Online, publically available source of information to educate a variety of stakeholders
Objectives of Survey Provide informationon sea-level rise planning activities to support coordination, collaboration and prevent redundancy. Assess implementation of key state policies, including: Governor Brown s Executive Order B-30-15; State of California Sea-level Rise Guidance Document and Ocean Protection Council Resolution on Sea-level Rise (2011); and Safeguarding California Plan (2014) and Ocean Protection Council Resolution on Implementation of the Safeguarding California Plan (2014). Assess aspects of successful adaptation: objectives, actions/next steps, capacity, ability to overcome barriers, decisions, process, and capacity. Capacity is a key aspect of the framework for successful adaptation and the results of the survey can inform legislative and administrative leaders.
